bzn20 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Cockpit and ladder took me back,instant reminders. Has to be good if it can stir memories of 30 odd years ago in Oman and at Marshalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockheed Hercules Pilot's Notes, Volume 1, Chapters 1 though 35. Chapters 36 - 70 are kept in the freight bay while the reminder may be kept in the flightline shack because they're not necessary for immediate reference while airborne. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascoteer Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 I have a couple of things yet to add to the front of Station 245 (2x handheld fire extinguishers, asbestos gloves stowage, DUFAK (Daily Use First Aid Kit) as well as the sextant stowage. I also have the pilots side radio panels still to do as well as the pilots oxygen hoses and the Mk4 portable oxygen bottles. However it terms of the flight deck 'module' I'm about calling it done: 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomoshenko Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Looking very tasty in there. Nice n busy loike. Fire extinguishers will be the coup de grace. Can't beat a good old scratch built fire extinguisher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 "Doesn't post to Canada" Wonder why not? Hardly the first place I think of as a den of fraudsters and eBay scammers but perhaps the seller can tell tales to the contrary. Any confessions to share Jess?

Simon382 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Just loving this thread and looking forward to the next tale to be told! I've got the AC130U in 1/48 awaitng my attentions. I thought that it was relatively accurate but having some serious doubts now. I have no clue where to start in fixing it all so will be following this thread even closer now. Keep up the amazing work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascoteer Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 If I recall correctly the side of the galley had a canvas full length stowage for manuals.Did snoopy have one can you remember. The US aircraft had shelving in the recess to the right of the crew entrance door (next to the freight bay entrance) but on ours this area was used to store the mainwheel chocks. The only document storage that I can remember was the cubby above the Nav Station (above and to the left of the Ecko 290 radar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatalbert Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The k's I worked on deffinatly had a stowage on the flight deck side of the galley,maybe it was a later mod.I was on them from around 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the seller hates Steven Harper? We need to tell him that Harper is an opposition backbencher these days.
